have you been shopping for wood latley? well the prices of wood are crazy!! I love these wood characters so to save time and money I decided to use boths sides of my wood. I use pine wood I am lucky that there is a local person who often sells bundles of this pine on marketplace every so often. I believe it is leftover from the cuts he makes on a regular basis for his work. so... I started with some 3.5 inch by 17 inch peices of wood. I use wood glue to attach 3 of the together. Then I use 2 more of the same size boards. with more wood glue I attach the remaining boards to creats a hat.
The rest is might mot need much explination as it can be done so many ways. I just paint or stain the wood to create a face and hat. for the faces I use stencils I cut with my silhoutte machiene to get the faces just right and then decorate and embelish by progject with a few dollar tree items like silk flowers and garland.
